Chapter 8 - Shirley...?

Emma's POV (Point Of View)

Today is the second day after getting kidnapped, and I'm bored as hell. I have no idea what to do. It's just so quiet over here that it feels like no one is here. I'm sure everyone is silent here because they miss their family and friends.

Oh I have an idea! I'll surf around the compartments and find someone to talk to. I started moving around the compartments. I saw that some of the kids were injured. Some looked like they were almost starving to death. I feel very bad for everyone in here- I saw a girl about my age sitting on her mattress, curled up in a ball and staring at the wall. She looked kind of similar.

I went over there and tapped that girl on the back, she turned and looked at me. My eyes widened as I realized it was Shirley. Shirley too recognized me and we both were traumatized by seeing each other. "Shirley!....?-" I asked her thinking that I misunderstood this girl, maybe it's someone else I guess. But it all was cleared when that girl replied "Emma!...- OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS, IT'S YOU!". I stared at her with my eyes wide open. She continued "..I wanna apologize to you... I'm sorry I behaved so badly with you. Will you please forgive me?". And obviously my heart melted "Oh, No, Don't say sorry. It's probably not your fault. Anyways, how the heck did you reach over here?" I said.

I AM SO SHOCKED OMG. THIS TOTALLY CANNOT BE EMMA. I'M TRULY DREAMING. To make sure I wasn't dreaming, I pinched my hand but nothing happened-. OML. I wonder how she got here. Never mind, she asked me first. I'm sure her heart will melt, like it did when I apologized to her.

"So erm, did you notice those days when I stopped showing up? It was actually because I got kidnapped. I started thinking that I should apologize to you since it was too rude to leave a friend like that. So that day when I was coming to school. I stopped by a small shop to find a good gift for you that could also be an apologizing gift. But when I came out of the shop I saw a black van. The driver in the black van by purpose threw a small cloth out of the van, and he started to act as if he was dying for that small cloth. As soon as the driver saw me, he pleaded for help. I went and picked up that cloth and as I was handing it to that driver, he pushed back that cloth and it directly went to my face and as I inhaled, I felt dizzy. Suddenly two men in black clothes came out of the van and as I lost my balance they hurriedly picked me up and threw me in the van. And then I fainted". After I finished telling my story, I asked her how she got kidnapped.

My heart sank as I heard her story. And then she asked me my story and I told her what had happened. She replied "Oh I'm sorry for your brother". After hearing this, tears came to my eyes. I still miss my brother so badly. Like all of a sudden he left us all. And I also felt bad for Mother and Father because they might be worrying too much.

Suddenly once again the door opened. I dodged back to my compartment. And acted as if I was sleeping. A man came in and went into one of the compartments. He came out pushing a girl with one hand and with the other hand he was holding the girl's mouth tightly. I wasn't able to see who it was because it was too dark. The man took that girl and left the room, and the door was locked. I walked back to Shirley's compartment. As soon as I peeped inside that compartment. I was horrified to discover that it was empty.
